Sparkling Paris Champagne Tasting

Learn more about the wine of kings and the king of wines in our atmospheric 17th century cellar. You will try three different champagnes from small artisan producers while learning about the production methods of this special wine!

What will we learn together?

Champagne should be tasted just like a still wine and we will quickly discuss the correct approach to tasting all wines.

These are skills you can take home with you and that will prove to be very useful for all novices and wine connoisseurs alike.

My special tasting technique will help you identify and deconstruct a wine to determine why you like or dislike it and to help you plan for your next dinner party pairings.

We will also discuss the historical events and background of the world’s most famous wine region that helped make champagne one of the most prestigious and sought-after wines in the world.

We will sample three different champagnes from different small-scale growers (no big International brand champagnes will be tasted), each emphasizing one of the major terroirs, or sub regions, of Champagne.

An artisan cheese & charcuterie board can be pre-arranged for a small additional cost.

Testimonials

We met Preston a few years back when he was involved in apartment management and became more and more impressed with his kind conscientiousness. It has been gratifying to see him blossom professionally and develop a career based on things he loves, i.e., food and wine. He not only does wine related tours and classes but has the knowledge and flexibility to personalize private requests. We have used his expertise to help us organize private dinners for six in our apartment. After taking into account everyone’s preferences he selected an excellent chef and the two them consulted on the menu after which Preston selected an excellent wine to accompany each course.

The Wine/Cheese Master class taught by Preston Mohr was excellent! Preston was very knowledgeable about the different wines that paired well with cheese. The cheese/wine was delicious. This class was 2 ½ hours, although I felt I could have been there for ages :) There were 4 of us in the class and we had a really good time. Upon returning back to the States, I will never look at cheese the same way. I am looking forward to returning to Paris. I will definitely take Preston’s class again with Cook’n with class! Preston introduced to us the chocolate with cheese as well. So delicious!

Thank you Preston :)

Had a nice time with Preston our guide. Went to 2 wine bars, had wine at both and a great meat and cheese plate as well. He was friendly, knowledgable, and we had a nice time.

I pre-arranged this tour for my family (husband, 2 girls ages 11 & 15, and myself) – it was our favorite activity over the week we were in Paris. We are definitely “eaters” and love all foods, so it was great to be taken to some of the best gourmet shops in Paris. We learned about the history behind the typical French foods, about the government control of the different types of shops, and did tastings at each stop. We visited a boulangerie, charcuterie, patisserie, fromagerie, boucherie, an Armagnac shop, and looked in many other stores along the way. Our docent was AMAZING (Preston Mohr) – he went out of his way to speak in terms the kids would understand, he explained things that crossed our path even though it wasn’t part of our tour, he came prepared with hand sanitizer and a knife for tastings, and even advised us on things to do for the rest of our day, with detailed instructions. The tastings were delicious and plentiful!!
